(12” griddle available on 36” and 48” models; 24” griddle available on 24” and 48” models)

DESCRIPTION

The built in griddle is made of restaurant quality aluminum coated with titanium. This produces a surface with even heat that is easy to clean.

A maple chopping block and stainless steel cover are available as accessories and are purchased separately. Both are sized to fit on top of the surface when the griddle is not being used.

The maple chopping block and stainless steel cover must be removed before turning the griddle on.

The 12” electric griddle element is rated 120 volts AC, 1,600 watts. The 24” electric griddle element is rated 240 volts AC, 3,200 watts.

The visible gaps between the griddle plate and cooktop sides allows for expansion during heating.
